jeffboom Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 If I am not mistaken, to canonize a saint is more than to guarantee that the person is in heaven, but also to hold them up as an example of heroic virtue and Christian charity. I don't mean to be a doubting thomas, but how can we really really guarantee that anyone who has passed is in Heaven? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nihil Obstat Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 I don't mean to be a doubting thomas, but how can we really really guarantee that anyone who has passed is in Heaven? Sure. Well, not you or I, but the Church, absolutely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maggyie Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 I don't mean to be a doubting thomas, but how can we really really guarantee that anyone who has passed is in Heaven? that's the point of the 2 miracles, I always thought. Evidence that the person is in heaven with a hotline to the Lord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papist Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Certainly he will be canonized. Seems to be quick. However, if all the criteria that is required for sainthood is fulfilled, then what's then I see no problems. I trust the Church. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
